The AirTAC Airtac MAC Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MAC25X380SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 380mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.
For a fixed flat mounting face with no extra bracket, the U back cover on the MAC25X380SU bolts flush where a pivot would swing. This 25 mm bore, 380 mm stroke mini runs double acting with a variable cushion at each end and turns 0.5 MPa into 245.3 N of push and 206.1 N of pull.
Because the magnet is standard on every piston, CMSG / DMSG / EMSG switches clamp onto the barrel without a special order. Size for about 147 N of working force at 0.5 MPa - that margin keeps the 10 mm rod straight under real loads. The rolled stainless barrel and chrome-plated carbon-steel rod handle humid or lightly washed areas far better than painted cylinders.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MA-series datasheet. Barrel: stainless-steel tube (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction); piston rod: carbon steel with 20µm hard-chrome plating; covers: aluminium alloy. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every MA-series cylinder ships with a built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×380 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors (standard on MA series). |
| CA / U / CM | Back-cover type: CA pivot, U flat-end, CM round-end. |
MA-family variants: MA / MAC (double acting ±cushion), MSA / MTA (single acting push / pull), MAD / MACD (double rod ±cushion), MAJ / MACJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion), MAR (cushioned with integrated F/U mount). Mounting accessories: FA flange, LB foot, SDB pivot; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Holding aluminium housings during a drill operation; about 147 N of practical clamping force at 0.5 MPa keeps thin parts seated.
Advancing a printer or marker across a 380 mm lane in a warehouse labelling station.
Raising and lowering small-bottle rinse nozzles where the flat-end U cover mounts flush to the frame plate.
Compare downward to the 20 mm MAC at 157 N push for 0.5 MPa, or upward to the 32 mm at 402.2 N if your gate or slide needs margin. Over a 380 mm span the rod is slender, so support the load on its own guideways rather than letting the rod carry side load. Note that the piston drifts when air is lost - it holds no position on its own - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where that matters. Thread is PT; G and NPT are ordering options, and LB foot, FA flange or SDB pivot brackets cover other mount styles.
Quick checklist
Push is 245.3 N and pull 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa expect 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull, with a theoretical 50 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting - air does both the extend and the return stroke - and the cushion at each end is adjustable, not fixed.
The U flat-end back cover gives a fixed, bracket-free mount on a flat plate, and LB foot, FA flange or SDB pivot brackets can be added. A piston magnet is included as standard, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches fit the barrel directly. Ports are 1/8 inch; PT is standard with G and NPT available.
